Over here!

Thanks, I cannot confirm that. It´s not reported here - I can imagine that anthills in forests are under protection, yeah, but not in gardens.

Ants are very intelligent, and I have found that low doses of radiation make them even smarter.

They have transformed what used to be my living room into a fascinating habitat crisscrossed by highways, overpasses, castles, and depots. Initially there was only one mound, but they have now split into three tribes that are at war with each other.

I am not about to play favorites though. They worship me. Last night they all got together and formed a living sculpture of my likeness.

One tribe, which I call the geos, builds intricate arrangements of what looks, for all the world, like lines of morse code.

It is quite unusual. Mr. Kraemer, who I invited over one evening to seek out his expert opinion, agreed. It is too bad that he stumbled and fell off the viewing plank that traverses the habitat.

The ants have already cleaned off most of the flesh from his bones. I worry that their newly acquired taste will be hard to get rid of.

Some of them are sprouting wings now.
